Comments/more info? He did pay for system V. He's sitting there with the System V tape, but he can't read it because he doesn't have the new CPIO. AT&T intends that you install their distribution tapes on a blank system, they never have provided any other means of reading them. By the way, you can get a complete release of System V running under 4.2 from BRL. Contact Doug Gwyn (...!seismo!brl-tgr!gwyn) for information.
